Bam Biennial 2018: Bam! Glasstastic

Part of a curatorial policy shift away from crafts and design, the fi fth Bellevue Arts Museum biennial survey will be the museum’s “last materials-based biennial.” This may prove a bad idea, since the museum’s strengths have historically been with clay, glass, fiber, metals and wood. A blue-ribbon jury selected 48 artists, most with ties to Pilchuck Glass School. New work is on view, with much specially created for the event. Two US$5,000 prizes will be awarded.
